I’ve always known that I was never going to be a veiled bride. It’s really just not my style. So, right off the bat, I started looking at alternative hair accessories. Enter the hair flower.
GAWgeous! But guess what’s NOT gorgeous? The price tag! I started searching for the perfect one on Etsy and was overcome with sticker shock. Are ya kiddin’ me!? $40 for some fabric, beads, and a hair clip? I think not. I could totally do this myself.
The first step was finding the right style and a tutorial. Easy enough. I found this one on my first search! After less than 30 minutes, I ended up with this:
I used a faux peony and some miscellaneous beads. I’m such a bad blogger… I was so excited that I forgot to take pictures! BUUUUT, I redeemed myself when I decided to make some for my Hottie ’Maids with some flowers I had leftover from other projects.
First, I took the thing apart, removing all the “structure” pieces, so that it was floppy and looked more flowy.
Next, I simply hot glued the layers back together and hot glued some beads in the center. Lastly, I attached the gator hair clip to the back.
And…. VOILA!
This was easily one of the simplest projects I’ve done so far! They are going to look fab in my ladies’ hair. 
What are you wearing in your hair?
